FAQs:

How can I order my local number and when can I start using it?

During the sign up process, RingCentral will ask whether you want a local or toll-free number.

Once the process is complete, you can start using your new number right away.

Every RingCentral Office customer can order additional numbers for multiple locations, all of which will be synchronized within your account.

Why get a local number as opposed to a toll-free number?

A local number gives a sense of being local to potential customers.

Local customers also have the convenience of making a local call to reach you.

For example, a real estate agent in the suburbs of Chicago with an 847 area code may want to advertise a phone number closer to central Chicago in the 312 area code.Phone calls to the 312 area code number can be forwarded to a cell phone, home phone, etc.

How can I instantly reply to voicemail using my phone and/or computer?

If someone leaves a voicemail for you, RingCentral can alert you via a text message on your cell phone.

You can dial into your account and listen to your voicemail at any time.

After you listen to your message, your Auto-Receptionist will ask you if you want to reply—if so, just press a number on your phone to automatically connect to the caller.

You can also reply to callers from your computer.

All calls and faxes are logged into your online account—and all phone numbers in your account are active links.
